3. Systematic rock fractures often develop in one or more fracture sets. It is important to map and quantify these fracture sets and work out their
relative ages.

4. Attitude of fractures include strike (with respect to North) and dip angle (from 0° horizontal to 90° vertical) and direction (dip direction is
always perpendicular to strike direction). These data can be displayed on stereographic equal-area plots. Fracture strike trends can also be plotted
on a rose diagram or a histogram.

5. Fracture length indicates the lateral persistence of the structure. Trace lengths of 20m are very high persistence fractures.

Sorry dude , cant see your flickr photos because of security settings at work
can you upload them to your ATS account and link them that way ?

I still will have to disagree with you because the facts speak for themselves

why wont you admit you are wrong and just accept that your theory is false

and once more when you get evidence which debunks your theory , you change the goal posts

you said lines which intersect at 90 degrees I provided evidence from a doctor of Geology , then you changed it AGAIN!

He’s so used to having an echo chamber of one I fear no amount of legit proof could even make him bat an eyelash, dude’s made his mind up and
short of an act of god, sudden increase in cognitive abilities (or very strong psych drugs) this guy need to be back at the funny farm doing the
“Thorazine Shuffle”.
We’ve all tried hard to help the guy but it’s been all for not sadly, just think this is his 1st thread, imagine the quality to come, I hate to
see what comes up when he starts scrapping the bottom of his psychotic theory barrel.

To repeat, your photo shows "joint" in geology, which means fractures in a mass of rocks, not what I meant by two flat sides meeting at right
angle.

Honestly you change your defnitions , but forget that these definitions were created by geologists not you!

You asked for joints at 90 degree angles, then complain when I provide that , you arguing semantics

those are two flat sides meeting at a 90 degree angle , unless you somehow now want to debate the definition of joints, or fractures

there is no difference between the flagstones and the basalt columns meeting flat plane against flat plane
as they were both created by the exact same physical process , which you seem to disregard entirely
as you think that nature cant do it , yet i've posted multiple links to various journals which outline the exact physical process as documented by
geological scientists the world over!

You are now boring me , as you just repeat yourself like an insolent child who wants to be heard!
and refuses to listen to reason!

To repeat, your photo shows 2-dimensional right angles. Basalt columns have 3-dimensional right angles. No evidence is no evidence. From beginning to
now, no evidence against my claim at wretchfossil.blogspot.com...

Image 1 and Image 2 are diagrams, not evidence. Words, diagrams and theory are not evidence. NO ONE HAS evidence for basalt columns being formed by
cracks. Do not buy the king's new clothes. Otherwise you will be naked.

see we have hit an impasse , as you seem to think a right angle is somehow different in 2 dimensions as applied to 3 !

its still a right angle regardless of how many dimensions its represented in , apart from one dimension as you cant have a right angle without a
second dimension

The diagrams I provided are directly drawn from the image on the site I linked which shows flagstones and systematic cracking / fracturing which
results in vertical / horizontal fractures and at 90 degrees to the naked eye!

You asked for it , and nature provided it

and you disregard it by changing the goal posts once again .

You are being willfully ignorant , and personal incredulity is increasing with every post you make !

I have provided you with evidence and you deny it as no evidence, and when you provide me with evidence you link your own blog

Im done entertaining you

the facts speak for themselves friend
enjoy wasting your time chasing ghosts on mars and man made basalt columns

I wont hold my breath for the arrival of your thesis on man made basalt columns

Even 2D right angles were man-made. I meant the "man-made rock by the sea" in your photo. I claimed that long ago.
You used joint in geology to prove joint in geology. Next time you will use basalt columns to prove basalt columns.
